Lyrics:
DEAR FATHER / BE
Dear father, we dream, we dream, we dream while we may
Who are dreaming to need, we need, we need while we wait, while we wait.
Lost on a painted sky where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye you may find Him, if you may find Him.
There on a distant shore by the wings of dreams through an open door,
You may know Him, if you may be as a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day.
Oh, we dance - Dear Father!
To a whispered voice we dream - overheard by the soul, undertook by the heart!
We dream (and you may know it), we dream (if you may know it)
While the sand (Dear Father) would become the stone (we need)
Which begat the spark turned to living bone (we need)
Holy, holy (we need), Sanctus, sanctus
Be! (Dear Father, we dream)
Start you're finding your way!
